Career & Internship Center

When I first came to Culver I had no clear direction of what I wanted to do after school. With extreme indecisiveness, I chose the finance/business route. After taking a few classes with Dr. Janney, Dr. Gaither, Mr. Larson, Mr. Cosgrove, and Dr. Deege, I was hooked. Their passion and real life stories of relatable experience initiated that spark. Thanks to that experience, I have been in Finance for the duration of my professional career and have really enjoyed it thus far. I am currently a finance manager at a fulfillment center at Amazon.

Caly (Kite) Cramsey ‘08 MBA ‘14 an accountancy and finance major from La Grange, MO, and Lucas Cramsey ‘09 MBA ‘15 a finance major from Quincy, IL met at C-SC. Caly was active in IMA, national and international study trips, and volunteer projects while in school. Lucas was a Pillars Scholar, student-athlete on the baseball team, and Business department tutor. After graduation, Caly & Lucas were married and settled down in Quincy, IL. Currently, Caly is the Chief Financial Officer for HOMEBANK serves on the Board of Trustees of Culver-Stockton. Lucas is the Director of Global Compensation for Ingersoll Rand. Their favorite job is being Mommy & Daddy to their two children - Sophia & Tucker. "We are forever thankful to Culver-Stockton for the educational experiences, mentors, life-long friends, and memories we experienced while we were on "the Hill." Our experiential learning and engaging professors were critical elements to our growth and professional success."

The education I received at Culver Stockton provided me with a strong foundation and the confidence to land my first job. The relationships I made while at Culver were just as impactful to my future as what I learned in the classroom. The professors and staff genuinely care and want everyone to succeed. I will always be grateful for the lifelong friendships I made and my 4 years on the Hill!!

I graduated from Culver-Stockton College in 2000 with a degree in Arts Management and a minor in Computer Science. When I look back on my career more than 25 years later, I can see how many of the building blocks for what I’ve been fortunate enough to accomplish began at C-SC.

My college experience extended well beyond the classroom. I played baseball, participated in music programs, and was involved in fraternity life through Delta Upsilon. Those experiences taught me how to work with different people, communicate, lead, contribute to a team, and take advantage of opportunities.

Since graduating, I’ve continued to build on that foundation. I earned a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and eventually an Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration. Today, I serve as Director of Enrollment Marketing at University of Idaho, where my work focuses on helping connect students with the opportunities higher education can provide.

My career has taken me across the country and around the world. I’ve had the opportunity to travel internationally, present at national conferences, and work with people and organizations I never could have imagined as a college student. Yet the foundation for that journey was built at Culver-Stockton.

That’s what I value most about my C-SC experience. It gave me the opportunity to explore different interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop the confidence to see where those experiences could take me. More than 25 years later, I continue to draw on those lessons every day

Culver-Stockton College played an incredibly important role in shaping who I am today, both personally and professionally. I had the opportunity to earn both my undergraduate degree and MBA from C-SC, while also being a member of the men’s soccer program and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.
What made my experience at Culver-Stockton so special was the opportunity to grow in so many different areas. The classroom challenged me academically, soccer taught me discipline, and my fraternity experience gave me lifelong friendships and a strong sense of community.

The relationships I built with professors, coaches, teammates, fraternity brothers, and classmates made Culver-Stockton feel like much more than just a college. It was a place where I was able to develop as a student, a leader, and a person.

Today, as a business owner, I still rely on many of the lessons and values I developed during my time at Culver-Stockton. I am incredibly grateful for my experience on "The Hill" and proud to be a Wildcat.

My lifelong career in higher education started when I was at Culver Stockton. I was selected to work as a staff assistant in the Registrar’s Office with Dr. Terry Sherer and that provided me the core skills and leadership abilities that shaped me as a professional and future administrator. At CS-C I met people that supported me, challenged me, inspired me and most important, believed in me. I began working in the field as a college sophomore and it became my calling and career. The education I received in the classroom, the students, faculty, and staff from around the country I met, as well as the opportunities to learn, grow and lead that were provided for me were the foundation for my success and continues to influence me today.

I will always cherish my time at Culver and the things I learned, in and out of the classroom. As a student, the small campus was the perfect place for me to explore my interests, challenge myself, and discover who I was as a person. I was able to study biology and chemistry while also being involved in music, Greek life, and student government.

Looking back on my college years, I am grateful for the opportunities, friendships, and experiences that shaped me into the person I am today. My time at Culver prepared me for a career, further degrees, and life abroad. I will always be proud to call Culver a part of my story.
